my family did the dermatologist thing when they found a patch of scalp that was raw and irritated. it all seemed to have started when was at a youth summer camp. At night, I was on my cot when an area of my crown felt bothersome and after scratching at it some hairs came out and the itch was relived. There has been a long battle eversince. I’ve had allergies all my life that were never taken seriously. I’ve taken meds and it’s not working. But always believe in victory!

Thanks MK for this post. It really is a great story to read, especially the fact that you did manage to stop pulling from your scalp. It’s interesting because my parents used to always tell me to stop but it never worked. Had they been more serious about it maybe it would have. But it must be so hard for parents to know what to do. I hope your appointment went well and I would be interested to hear about it.

I am the same miss*H. Luckily i don’t have a bald spot, but my hair on my crown is always thin and short and fluffy. Telling people is hard though. Good luck for you – at least we have the internet as an outlet to share our stories.

Thanks for sharing. There are only a handful of people that know I have trich although the massive bald spot on the top of my head does kind of gve it away
